Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could do for same-sex marriage what Roe v. Wade did for abortion-on-demand.
What concerns me, besides the obvious prospect of having marriage permanently redefined in American law, is the impact of such a ruling on religious freedom. As you know from listening to BreakPoint, there is ample reason for concern on that score. Recent events have demonstrated that the clash between gay rights and religious freedom is a zero-sum game.
That’s why a recent column by Frank Bruni of the New York Times concerned me so profoundly.
From the start, Bruni, who is himself gay, demonstrates that he does not, or perhaps cannot, understand this issue. He begins by telling readers that he “chafes” at being called “a threat to your religious liberty.”
He then goes on to dispute the idea that allowing “men who have romantic relationships with other men and maybe want to marry them” will somehow run roughshod over someone’s creed. In fact, he calls such a belief “absurd.”

With the Bible being thrown out of churches, schools, colleges and seminaries, what would anyone expect?? A revival? Romans 1 is a synopsis not only of this nation, but the world.
The problem within our courts and which is reflected in this article, is that the Supreme Court does not have the constitutional power or authority to make law. The Constitution is not difficult to read. A state which has a law stating marriage is between one man and one woman, echoing what the Bible tells us, has the right to do so, and nothing in the Constitution prohibits it. it. But what the Left has been unable to accomplish at the ballot box, they are determined to do by judicial fiat. But do not be misled. God has told us what constitutes marriage, and no man is able to change that. It is for His glory that it be so. Our laws must reflect it.
Apparently Doulos hasn’t bothered to read the constitution.
This isn’t a left or right issue, the court is bound by the constitution to give full faith and credit. Because one state passed a same sex marriage law, all states are required(by the constitution) to give full faith and credit to the laws aand rulings of every other state.
While I am a leftie, I don’t believe in same sex marriage but, the constitution is what it is.
Our nation, Constitution, Bill of Right has been made for a Righteous people, not the infidels we see to rule this nation. When this nation was majority Christian, this nation was considered exceptional which no longer exist, hijacked by the liberal leftist progressives.
